  1. stop eating snails then you dirty icky sod!
  2. word of warning, too many posts could cause a fence
  3. if you know, you know
  4. my immediate thought is that if they raise tax on petrol to tax high-mileage motorists, what about the petrol we buy for our machines? my other immediate thought isnt polite

    i got banned off facebook for sending people photos of my choke-rod
  7. yeah thats the face of a tree being buggered
  8. im thinking skip the driveway and consider some sort of temp surface. metal sheeting or hardened plastic? maybe a woodchip run to spare the root system, im sure such ideas wouldnt need planning permission? (but i dunno ive never done planning for a driveway)
  9. worth it? probably not. fun? yes. easier? yes. its like hitting every tree with a 881 on a 30inch bar. no job too small. no saw too big.
  10. find an honest politician. that should take you a while
  11. on the plus side, at least youre not clogging up the roads slowing down real motorists while you amble from place to place in your bus
  12. cut it and keep it as a short spare line or a dog lead
  13. what he said

    well i aint eatin it anyway after its been in that dirty-ass hand.
  16. ive had all sorts. everyone will swear by their own opinion. the best boots ever are haix protector forest. and protector pro. and meindl woodwalker. and zamberlan. and pfanner... etc. you get the idea. very few of us have jumped around different boots i think pfanner zermatts are ok but expensive haix timber were supposed to be designed specifically as a climbing boot the original protector pro are belter, once theyrre worn in. theyre what i favour, or the new timber which ive not tried yet.

    millions of little ****************ing tiny spiders everywhere in every stand!! and all over my car. second that about the card-only food. smaller than previous shows i think?
  18. oops, just missed the big show where you could look at loads of different boots all in one place and try them on
  19. ya cant cut trees in the buff. thats just not gonna be comfortable where the sawdust gets.
  20. enjoy the heat, cos before long its gonna be pissing down. put some soft padding on the sweat band.
  21. ask buxtons if you can stick a note in their shop
  22. wasnt it the PFJ?
  23. or just the ones who dont mind doing that and then admitting theyve done it? i might say committed rather than sophisticated
  24. its just the shape it came off the rolled up roll of wire fencing you mean? its a fair point. i need to find some duct tape strips cos the only stuff i can find comes on a round roll so i cant use it on a straight surface. 🤦‍♂️
  25. mostly seem to have a higher feed chute than a towbehind. means lifting branches higher to load in. thats about all ive got to say about that
